pH Responsive and Oxidation Resistant Wet Adhesive based on Reversible Catechol?Boronate Complexation

Chem. Mater. (2016)

By copolymerizing dopamine methacrylamide and phenylboronic acid, researchers developed a smart mussel-inspired adhesive that achieves reversible wet adhesion by forming dynamic catechol–boronate complexes. This structural design shields catechol from irreversible oxidation, effectively solving a major stability limitation of traditional wet adhesives while enabling pH-triggered bond switching.

Effect of Ionic Functional Groups on the Oxidation State and Interfacial Binding Property of Catechol-Based Adhesive

Biomacromolecules (2018)

By systematically mapping catechol autoxidation across varying microenvironments, this study reveals that anionic side chains buffer local pH to preserve active catechol groups for robust wet-surface adhesion, whereas cationic amine groups accelerate covalent crosslinking to boost internal cohesion. These findings establish clear molecular design principles for tuning the balance between interfacial binding and bulk toughness in next-generation mussel-inspired bio-adhesives and hydrogels.

Catechol-Functionalized Chitosan: Optimized Preparation Method and Its Interaction with Mucin

Langmuir (2019)

By identifying that traditional synthetic protocols trigger premature autoxidation, this study establishes that maintaining strict acidic conditions (pH < 5) during synthesis is essential to preserve unoxidized catechol groups on chitosan backbones. This optimized preparation restores functional catechol integrity, proving that mucoadhesion relies primarily on rapid non-covalent physical interactions rather than immediate oxidative covalent crosslinking.

Smart biomaterial platforms: Controlling and being controlled by cells

Biomaterials (2022)

By developing an instant bioadhesive synthesized from highly branched aminoethyl gelatin end-grafted with abundant catechol, this study demonstrates rapid, robust sealing on wet biological tissues via dual-mode cross-linking within 10 seconds. In vivo evaluations confirm that this tissue-adhesive platform effectively seals arterial anastomoses and stops severe internal organ bleeding while promoting subsequent wound healing through timely biodegradation.

Rapidly responsive smart adhesive-coated micropillars utilizing catechol–boronate complexation chemistry

Soft Matter (2019)

By coating catechol–boronate smart adhesive hydrogels onto microfabricated PDMS pillars, researchers dramatically increased the material's surface-area-to-volume ratio. This microstructural integration accelerated ion diffusion, allowing the system to rapidly switch between strong wet adhesion at pH 3 and deactivation at pH 9 within just one minute.
